Blue whales have already been sighted this season off Southern California, and more will arrive in the coming months, delighting whale watchers out of Dana Point, Long Beach, Ventura and Santa Barbara.

Tonight is a good opportunity to learn more about Earth's largest inhabitants. John Hildebrand, a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, will discuss blue whale communication from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro. The aquarium is located at 3720 Stephen M. White Drive.
